about a 40 flex is maximum for a junior stick
----------------------------------------
The biggest flex a hockey stick can have, and I'm assuming you mean the largest number, is a 115 to 120 (depending on the manufacturer). A 120 flex is fairly difficult to find and most are only available in Europe. For the most part, the highest flex available in the USA is a 110.
In case there was any question, the higher the number in the flex rating, the stiffer the stick.
Here is a listing of average flex ratings for each size stick:
Youth - 35 to 40 flex
Junior - 50 flex
Intermediate - 60 to 70 flex
Senior - 75 to 110
